Class RDFParserBuilder

  • public class RDFParserBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
    An RDFParser is a process that will generate triples; RDFParserBuilder provides the means to setup the parser.

    An RDFParser has a predefined source; the target for output is given when the "parse" method is called. It can be used multiple times in which case the same source is reread. The destination can vary. The application is responsible for concurrency of the destination of the parse operation. The process is 

         StreamRDF destination = ...
     RDFParser parser = RDFParser.create()
          .source("filename.ttl")
          .build();
     parser.parse(destination);
    or using a short cut: 
         RDFParser parser = RDFParser.create()
          .source("filename.ttl")
          .parse(destination);

    • Method Detail

      • source

        public RDFParserBuilder source​(java.nio.file.Path path)
        Set the source to Path. This clears any other source setting.

        The parser can be reused.

        Parameters:
        path -
        Returns:
        this

      • source

        public RDFParserBuilder source​(java.lang.String uriOrFile)
        Set the source to a URI; this includes OS file names. File URL should be of the form file:///.... This clears any other source setting.

        The parser can be reused.

        Parameters:
        uriOrFile -
        Returns:
        this

      • fromString

        public RDFParserBuilder fromString​(java.lang.String string)
        Use the given string as the content to parse. This clears any other source setting.

        The syntax must be set with .lang(...).

        The parser can be reused.

        Parameters:
        string - The characters to be parsed.
        Returns:
        this

      • source

        public RDFParserBuilder source​(java.io.InputStream input)
        Set the source to InputStream. This clears any other source setting.

        The syntax must be set with .lang(...).

        The InputStream will be closed when the parser is called and the parser can not be reused.

        Parameters:
        input -
        Returns:
        this

      • source

        public RDFParserBuilder source​(java.io.StringReader reader)
        Set the source to StringReader. This clears any other source setting. The StringReader will be closed when the parser is called and the parser can not be reused.

        The syntax must be set with .lang(...).

        Consider using fromString(java.lang.String) instead.

        Parameters:
        reader -
        Returns:
        this

      • source

        @Deprecated
public RDFParserBuilder source​(java.io.Reader reader)
        Deprecated.
        Use fromString(java.lang.String), or an InputStream or a StringReader.
        Set the source to Reader. This clears any other source setting. The Reader will be closed when the parser is called and the parser can not be reused.

        The syntax must be set with .lang(...).

        Parameters:
        reader -
        Returns:
        this

      • streamManager

        public RDFParserBuilder streamManager​(StreamManager streamManager)
        Set the StreamManager to use when opening a URI (including files by name, but not by Path).
        Parameters:
        streamManager -
        Returns:
        this

      • lang

        public RDFParserBuilder lang​(Lang lang)
        Set the hint Lang. This is the RDF syntax used when there is no way to deduce the syntax (e.g. read from a InputStream, no recognized file extension, no recognized HTTP Content-Type provided).
        Parameters:
        lang -
        Returns:
        this

      • strict

        public RDFParserBuilder strict​(boolean strictMode)
        Set the parser built to "strict" mode. The default is system wide setting of SysRIOT.isStrictMode().
        Parameters:
        strictMode -
        Returns:
        this

      • forceLang

        public RDFParserBuilder forceLang​(Lang lang)
        Force the choice RDF syntax to be lang, and ignore any indications such as file extension or HTTP Content-Type.
        Parameters:
        lang -
        Returns:
        this
        See Also:
        Lang

      • httpHeader

        public RDFParserBuilder httpHeader​(java.lang.String header,
                                   java.lang.String value)
        Set an HTTP header. Any previous setting is lost.

        Consider setting up an HttpClient if more complicated setting to an HTTP request is required.

      • base

        public RDFParserBuilder base​(java.lang.String base)
        Set the base URI for parsing. The default is to have no base URI.

      • resolveURIs

        public RDFParserBuilder resolveURIs​(boolean flag)
        Choose whether to resolve URIs.
        This does not affect all languages: N-Triples and N-Quads never resolve URIs.
        Relative URIs are bad data.
        Only set this to false for debugging and development purposes.

      • resolver

        public RDFParserBuilder resolver​(IRIxResolver resolver)
        Provide a specific IRIxResolver to check and resolve URIs. Its settings will determine the base IRI and whether to resolve relative IRIs or not. The caller is responsible for giving a resolver that is suitable for the RDF syntax to be parsed.

      • canonicalLiterals

        @Deprecated
public RDFParserBuilder canonicalLiterals​(boolean flag)
        Deprecated.
        Use canonicalValues and one of langTagCanonical() and langTagLowerCase()

        This operation is equivalent to 

           this.canonicalValues(flag);
    if ( flag )
        this.langTagCanonical();
    else
        this.langTagAsGiven();
    return this;
        Convert the lexical form of literals to a canonical form.

      • canonicalValues

        public RDFParserBuilder canonicalValues​(boolean flag)
        Convert the lexical form of literals to a canonical form.

        Two literals can be different RDF terms for the same value.

        Examples include (first shown of the pair is the canonical form): 

            "1"^^xsd:integer and "+01"^^xsd:integer
    "1.0E0"^^xsd:double and "1"^^xsd:double
        The canonical forms follow XSD 1.1 <href="https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#canonical-lexical-representation">2.3.1 Canonical Mapping</a> except in the case of xsd:decimal where it follows the older XSD 1.0 which makes it legal for Turtle's short form ("1.0"^^xsd:Decimal rather than "1"^^xsd:decimal). See XSD 1.0 3.2.3.2 Canonical representation

        The effect on literals where the lexical form does not represent a valid value (for example, "3000"^^xsd:byte) is undefined.

        This option is off by default.

        This option can slow parsing down.

        For consistent loading of data, it is recommended that data is cleaned and canonicalized before loading so the conversion is done once.

        See Also:
        langTagLowerCase(), langTagCanonical()

      • langTagLowerCase

        public RDFParserBuilder langTagLowerCase()
        Convert language tags to lower case.

        This is the suggested form in RDF 1.1 for comparsions. However, this is not the recommended canonical form in RFC 5646.

        Providing all data is converted consistently, language tag equality is maintained for either lower case or RFC canonicalization styles.

        This option can slow parsing down.

        See Also:
        langTagCanonical()

      • langTagCanonical

        public RDFParserBuilder langTagCanonical()
        Language tags are case-normalized as defined by RFC 5646. Example: en-GB, not en-gb.

        This does not affect the RDF 1.1 requirement that the value-space of language tags is lower-case.

        Providing all data is converted consistently, lang tag equality is maintained for either lower case or RFC canonicalization.

        This option can slow parsing down.

        See Also:
        langTagLowerCase()

      • checking

        public RDFParserBuilder checking​(boolean flag)
        Set whether to perform checking, NTriples and NQuads default to no checking, other languages to checking.

        Checking adds warnings over and above basic syntax errors.

        • URIs - whether IRs confirm to all the rules of the URI scheme
        • Literals: whether the lexical form conforms to the rules for the datatype.
        • Triples and quads: check slots have a valid kind of RDF term (parsers usually make this a syntax error anyway).

        See also errorHandler(ErrorHandler) to control the output. The default is to log. This can also be used to turn warnings into exceptions.

      • errorHandler

        public RDFParserBuilder errorHandler​(ErrorHandler handler)
        Set the ErrorHandler to use. This replaces any previous setting. The default is use slf4j logger "RIOT".
        Parameters:
        handler -
        Returns:
        this

      • factory

        public RDFParserBuilder factory​(FactoryRDF factory)
        Set the FactoryRDF to use. FactoryRDF control how parser output is turned into Node and how Triples and Quads are built. This replaces any previous setting.
        The default is use RiotLib.factoryRDF() which is provides Node reuse.
        The FactoryRDF also determines how blank node labels in RDF syntax are mapped to BlankNodeId. Use 
            new Factory(myLabelToNode)
        to create an FactoryRDF and set the LabelToNode step.
        Parameters:
        factory -
        Returns:
        this
        See Also:
        labelToNode

      • build

        public RDFParser build()
        Build an RDFParser. The parser takes it's configuration from this builder and can not then be changed. The source must be set. When a parser is used, it is takes the source and sends output to an StreamRDF.
